Former Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger has advised Chelsea’s next manager to include a clause in his contract which prevents Todd Boehly and Co from ‘interfering’ with the team.
Reports in England suggest that Boehly and his Co-owners of the Blues are constantly in Chelsea’s dressing room.
After their defeat to Brighton on Saturday, the American was said to have entered the dressing room and described the club’s current situation as ’embarrassing’ while addressing the players.
He was said to have singled out a senior player for criticism inside Chelsea’s dressing room.
Although Frank Lampard and Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti could not find anything wrong in club owners visiting the dressing room and addressing the players, Wenger is firmly against the idea.
The legendary Frenchman said whoever takes over from Lampard as Blues’ boss should insist on distance between the club’s ownership and the team.
When asked if he would welcome a club owner speaking in his own dressing room, Wenger told beIN Sports: “No, I wouldn’t, that was always clear in my mind.
“I always put that in my contract. The advice I give to young coaches when they make contracts, I say make what is important for you, put that clearly in your contract that you are the only one, nobody can buy a player without your agreement.
“I don’t believe in these kinds of things because if I’m paid to motivate the team, to manage the team, I do not want somebody else to do my job.”
